Papering fins has almost nothing to do with the final finish. A good primer soaks into and seals the paper. Primer, sand, Primer Sealer, Paint, Apply Decals, then Clearcoat. That routine works well for me.

Now maybe if you don't use primer and just shoot a coat of paint, your point would be valid.
